Caught him solo as a support act for Concrete Blonde, where he had Johnette come out and do Tomorrow Wendy with him.
Or did he come out and do TW with her as an encore? I canāt rememberā¦ it was at The Metro anyway, during that period when OS act gigs were happening there.
Fair lineup that Alt Nation festival hadā¦

Iām musically illiterate, but my phone tells me the chord progression on halfway hotel is a common one and reckons the songs in the screenshot all use the same. (May be rubbish but I wouldnāt know).
I agree with thinking thereās a difference between some ācountryā and āwesternā, but it gets blurry to me. Donāt they both tie in through Blues - which is what most rock derives from anyway?
What are the Western songs on Modern Sounds in Country and Western (Ray Charles)?
Some of the āwesterniestā songs (to me anyway) have Australian origins. Mercy Seat, This is not the way home, Wide open road, but I could understand if you called the first two more Rock/Blues(?) and the latter folk/rock. But like I say, Iām not really musically literate, and if you asked me to describe what I-VI-IV-V meant in my own words I would have no idea!

I loved these films as a kid.
I watched the YouTube. End of credits, up comes Farley Granger. I recall the name from Tom Waitsā Burma Shave. I always thought it was a made up actorās name but wiki tells me he was given that name at birth. Iād never seen him come up in a film credit so had no idea who he was or what he looked like. I always pictured James Dean in a cowboy hat - from the lyrics in the Waits song - probably because of the song story ending!
Itās a great story where the song name āBurma Shaveā comes from.

Interesting project this albumā¦
All new songs, performed live in front of an audience which had been directed to stay silent until the music had completely stopped. Released as a vinyl album on three sides (a blank fourth side).
Has some pretty good stuff on itā¦ I certainly preferred it to Body and Soul the previous albumā¦
You seen what JJ looks like these days? Itās not just the ladies who go down the OTT plastic surgery routeā¦
